Abercrombie
Jokes aside, 2026 really is shaping up to look a lot like 2016 and the skinny jean revival is just further evidence of that.
The denim trend we swore would stay in the the 2010s is creeping back into closets (isn't that how it always works? cc: low-rise). But just because the fitted look is making a comeback doesn't mean we should start styling our skinny jeans the same way we did a decade ago. We've grown! We've matured!
The resurgence isn't about time-traveling to our teenage closets, but rather reinventing the classics with smarter styling, better proportions, and accessorizing in a modern way. Think: oversized blazers or longline button-down shirts, lug-sole boots and chunky loafers, you get the vibe.
Keep scrolling to shop our favorite skinny jean styles from Levi's, Abercrombie, Levi's, and more—starting at just $18.
